PURPOSE: An encoding device for correcting an error and a method thereof, and a decoding device and the method are provided to improve an error detecting/correcting performance when data is decoded by performing a soft encoding method after interleaving the soft encoded data. CONSTITUTION: The first soft encoder(111) performs a soft encoding operation according to the soft encoding method for correcting the error of the input data. The second soft encoder(112) performs the soft encoding operation according to the soft encoding method for correcting the error of the encoded data output from the first soft encoder. A modulator(113) modulates the data encoded from the encoders by using an RLL(Run-Length Limit) code. A demodulator(131) demodulates/outputs the modulated data to the first soft decoder(132). The first soft decoder performs a soft decoding operation according to the soft decoding method for correcting the error of the input data. The second soft decoder(133) performs a repetition decoding method by feeding the soft decoded data and the additional information representing that the decoded data is the successful decoded data to the first soft decoder.

PURPOSE: A device and a method for coding error correction are provided to satisfy a property needed for a parity check matrix by moving a position of components generating a cycle among the components of the generated parity check matrix, and enhance an LDPC(Low Density Parity Code) decoding performance by generating the parity check matrix removing the cycle. CONSTITUTION: A parity check matrix generator(110) generates the parity check matrix respectively including the components having an 1-component value for each row and column, and other components having a 0-component value. A parity check matrix adjuster(130) searches a cycle forming group from the parity check matrix by receiving the parity check matrix from the parity check matrix generator. If the cycle forming group is existed more than one, the parity check matrix adjuster outputs the parity check matrix that the cycle forming group is removed by replacing the 1-component value with the 0-component value of the cycle forming group. An LDPC coder(150) performs the LDPC coding by receiving the parity check matrix that the cycle forming group is removed and a message word.

PURPOSE: An optical information storage medium and a recording and/or reproducing method thereof are provided to simplify a process of manufacturing the optical information storage medium. CONSTITUTION: An optical information storage medium includes a read-in region(10), a user data region(13), and a read-out region(15). Data is recorded in a part of the read-in region or the entire read-in region as wobbling pits, and data is recorded in other regions as pits. The region in which the data is recorded as the wobbling pits is a region where information that is not changed for the same physical format is recorded. The region in which the wobbling pits are recorded records information related with the storage medium. The region in which the data is recorded as the wobbling pits has a data recording modulation method different from a data recording modulation method of the region in which the data is recorded as the pits.
Abstract:
A method for generating and allocating codewords is provided. The method includes allocating one of two selectable codewords b1 and b2 as codeword b when a preceding codeword a and a following codeword b form a code stream X, in which codewords b1 and b2 have opposite INVs which are parameters indicating whether the number of '1s' contained in a codeword is an odd number or an even number and when the code stream of a and b1 is X1, and the code stream of a and b2 is X2, allocating codewords such that the INVs of X1 and X2 are maintained to be opposite when a or b1(b2) should be replaced by another codewords in compliance with a predetermined boundary condition given between codewords. According to the method, by using a short codeword having less bits as a main conversion codeword, high efficiency is achieved in recording density. Also, when codewords which do not satisfy the run length conditions are replaced by other codewords, the codewords are allocated so that the DC suppression capability of the code stream can be maintained, and therefore higher DC suppression capability of the code stream is provided.

PURPOSE: An apparatus for reproducing data of an optical recording medium using a multiple detector is provided to improve the efficiency of signal reproduction by selecting the optimum detector. CONSTITUTION: A preprocessor(300) filters a signal read from an optical recording medium for obtaining an RF signal. A multiple detecting unit(310) is formed of n detectors for detecting the RF signal to output a binarization result. A delay unit(320) is formed of delay circuits connected with the n detectors respectively for delaying the binarization result of each detector. An RF signal quality measuring unit(330) measures the quality of the RF signal inputted to measure binary output signals of the detectors. A switch(340) receives a detector selecting signal for selecting the corresponding detector. A binary signal quality measuring unit(350) measures the quality of a binary signal selected from the switch. A control unit(360) judges the performance of the detectors and generates a selection control signal to select one detector out of the multiple detecting unit.
Abstract:
A maximum error region determining unit determines a region having a maximum likelihood of error from a channel signal y(t). An optimal path searching unit uses only an error signal at the region having a maximum likelihood of error to find a minimum error generation path and to correct the error signal. A signal recovery unit applies a predetermined algorithm to the channel signal y(t) in which a part of the signal has been corrected by the optimal path searching unit in order to recover an original recorded signal a k . The signal processing apparatus and method search for an optimal path of a channel signal only in the maximum error generation region, thereby reducing complexity and simplifying implementing hardware while allowing for signal processing without change in hardware where changes in a channel model or conditions of an input signal occur.

A space extending encoder performs a first code transformation to extend a run length of digitized data to a predetermined length and outputs the space-extended data. A multiplexer multiplexes the space-extended data and data transformed by a predetermined second code transformation. A format converter converts the multiplexed data into a predetermined format which is suitable for writing to a recording medium. The apparatus and method enable recorded data to be resistant to channel distortion, enable the data to be recorded with increased recording density, and enable the data written to the recording medium to be reproduced with improved reliability.
